Gov Scott is signing warrants for the worst cases? The murder of women and children are the worst cases? In my opinion, they are ALL the worst cases - some more horrifying than others. The fact is that the (2) murders you were convicted of were males. That does not make your crimes any less horrific. Each of your victims left behind MORE victims (family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, communities, etc).
What should we do with convicted murderers? Already the appellate process affords (guarantees) 10-20 yrs (or more) of life while cases wind through the courts.
I don't know the solution. LWOP (the other death penalty) - is that realistic? I worry that Social Security will be broke when I finally qualify to draw after paying into the system for years and years. ObamaCare mandates are pinching some of us working poor who are working and living paycheck to paycheck - trying to keep a roof over our heads.
The cost to house Lifers and Death Row inmates is coming out of my pocket.
Let me ask you, Mr Clark, to convince me why (for instance) I should rally behind any movement that would take you off death row and agree to support you for your natural life?
Maybe in a perfect world there would be some magical island we could ship you all to and throw away the key - but we can't. The reality is that the death penalty in the state where you committed your crimes existed and continues to exist because the taxpayers voted for it.
Yes, change is required in my opinion. That change would be to streamline the appellate process and stop this 10-20 year appeal BS.
